My issue isn’t with adding electric to a gas car.
My issue is adding gas to an electric car.
The ICE drive train adds a TON of complexity to an EV.
If you’re gonna add ICE to an EV I think that it makes more sense to have a little range-extender generator, which is simple and cheap (because it only needs to run at a single RPM and constant load) which you can just run to add a bit more charge to your battery on long road trips.
But ideally we’d just have better charging infrastructure.
